Lindybop question

Just wondering about people's experiences... Have been invited to a 50's party, and not wanting to spend a lot of money on something i may not wear again... Anyway, I wondered are they fairly true to size? And do you need a netty tutu type undergarment to make it stick out and look pretty? Sorry, I'm sure there's a word for it but it's escaped me at present! Saw a dress for £17 which seems not unreasonable!

Oh thanks, all! I couldn't see mention re petticoat on website but it's a lovely swooshy kind of dress, the sort you would probably need one with! My next Q was going to be... How do I know petticoat length as there seems to be differing ones? Maybe if I look on laptop rather than on phone, the info might be on there? Either way thanks for ringing endorsement, I think I'll go for it!
